While I agree 100% with more choices and also wonder why the Green Party didn't support Ralph Nader, I cannot agree with you on paying for signatures. If they were to ask me for a signature, I would agree, primarily because he has the right to run. I know I will not vote for him, but anyone else to wants to should have the ability to vote for him. I simply find it repugnant to have to pay people to become involved in the political process. It's one thing to hire people to get the signatures, it's another to pay for signatures.

Just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Why should it be illegal or unethical to pay people so that a candidates name is on the ballot? That's all they are doing. They are not paying people to vote for Nader. Are the Democrats worried that Kerry can't win the liberal vote if people have a choice between Kerry or Nader? I would never vote for Nader but support his right to run for president. Isn't the election about people being given a choice? Why did the Green Party not endorse the strongest candidate they had? Why are the Democrats trying so hard to keep Nader off the ballot? It's not like Bush and Kerry are the only names on the ballot. What's wrong with giving people another choice?

Here where I live the Republicans are supporting the petition signing for Ralph Nader, he needs so many signatures to be on the ballot but the the weird thing is that they (GOP) are paying people 75 cents to a dollar for each signature to get Nader on the ballot!! Desperation! Meredith----
